This bar chart shows the weight of salt intake of men and women in various age groups in a country in Europe in 2019. Overall, It can be clearly seen that the amount of salt intake of men was always higher than that of women. Furthermore, the difference between salt intake in men and women rose steadily from approximately 100 milligrams in age 2-5 to well over 1,100 milligrams in age 70 or more.
In age 2-5, men consumed about 1,500 milligrams of salt while women consumed a little less at approximately 1,400 milligrams. As the age increases, the amount of salt consumed by both men and women rose significantly, furthermore, not only the highest amount of salt intake hit a peak at 5,000 milligrams by men ages between 30-39 it is also a little over two folds the Recommended Daily Intake at 2,300 milligrams. Although the highest intake is almost four times the lowest intake, the consuming of salt in men would fall slightly after age 30-39. On the other hand, the intake of women peaked at approximately 3,500 milligrams in the age group of 30-39 and plummeted gently after that.
To sum up, the double bar graph can show the salt intake of various age groups and genders. Although almost all age groups and genders consumed over or equal to the Recommended Daily Intake, people aged between 2 to 5 were still consuming less salt than the Recommended Daily Intake.
